New sewer force mains will be installed to accommodate the reconstruction of the new Q-Bridge. The existing twin force mains, owned and operated by the Greater New Haven Water Pollution Control Authority, are located under New Haven Harbor just north of the existing Q-Bridge. The force mains will run through the construction zone of the new Q-Bridge unless relocated.
The new twin 42-inch pipes will be located further north, out of the way of the proposed bridge construction. The new pipes will be installed under New Haven Harbor using directional drilling techniques to speed construction and minimize impacts to the Quinnipiac River.
